Not so special, Juan? PSG eye sensational move for unsettled Mata after midfielder falls out of favour at Chelsea

Paris Saint-Germain are in talks with Chelsea over a late move for Spanish playmaker Juan Mata, according to reports in France.

The big-spending Ligue 1 club have already splashed out nearly £100million this summer on Edinson Cavani and Marquinhos, but are looking for a replacement for Javier Pastore.

Mata has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho, despite winning the club's player of the year in each of his two seasons in west London, and L'Equipe claim that PSG are now on red alert for the Spaniard.

Waving goodbye? The Spain midfielder has only started one game for Chelsea this season

The move for Mata could free up space for Pastore to leave the French club - the Argentine was booed off by his own fans at the weekend.

And in a remarkable triangle of transfers, Arsenal are believed to have enquired for the 24-year-old.

He joined PSG for £33.7million in 2011 but has fallen out of favour recently and is yet to score this season. It is believed that other English clubs have made contact about his availability, but the midfielder would like to stay in France.

After the arrivals of Andre Schurrle and Willian, plus the return from loan of Kevin De Bruyne, Mata could struggle for game time in a crucial World Cup year should he stay at Chelsea.

Arsenal and Tottenham have both been linked with the star in recent weeks, though Mourinho would be unwilling to sell to an English club, especially after failing to buy Wayne Rooney from Premier League rivals Manchester United.

PSG were also linked with a late move for Mesut Ozil but he is bound for Arsenal.
